The best of Chair Blog for December, 2012

Our Feedburner based best 5 (6) posts.

The dramatic decrease in traffic continues for December 2012 when compared with November 2012:

According to Google Analytics:
Visits: 14,462 vs 29,709 (-51.32%)
Pageviews: 36,450 vs 69,746 (-47.74%)

Probably a hard hit by a change in Google algorithm. I’ll test some changes in our hosting settings the coming month of January 2013. I’ve disabled Photon and Cloudflare for the coming time. It may be that the site becomes much slower, but I’ve a feeling the photo’s we share here aren’t attributed correctly to us anymore by Google….

And some Miscellaneous stats:

Stay tuned!

I really don’t know what we did wrong to Google that we have been hit this hard after our all times high of November 8, 2012 with almost 8,000 page views on one day. We will see.

The best of Chair Blog November, 2012

Still based on our Feedburner stats.

For the first time in many months I’ve not posted the Half October- Half November top posts as I was still busy with our new Dutch blog about the city I live in: The Hague which also in the first half of November took a lot of my time. Its pace has been set now and less of my time is required. So I can pick up posting here again.

In return I’ve smuggled a bit, because I’ve counted one October post, number 1, as a November post.

So less posts than would be normal. Less posts also because I’ve still not finished the revamping the lay out of the site with a new version of the Thesis theme for WordPress. I’m still going backward an forward: When you see blue links, we’re back at Thesis version 1.8.5. When you see red links we’re on Thesis theme 2.0.2.

Google Analytics shows the following for November:
Visits: 30,926 vs 44.787 (-32.0%) in the corresponding prior period.
Pageviews: 71,735 vs 103.929 (-31,0%).

I don’t know what happened: All of a sudden, after a peak of almost 8,000 pageviews on November 8, manly due to our Sam Tailor Wood post which now ranks second in our all time favorite posts, Google started to send less and less people to us after November 14, 2012. Daily pageviews dwindled from 2,500 to over 3,000 to roughly around 1,000 thereafter. Again a new algorithm by Google? I wouldn’t know.

And some Miscellaneous stats:

The best of Chair Blog October, 2012

Still based on our Feedburner stats. At least their stats are still working.

Less posts as, with others, I’ve started a new Dutch blog about the city I live in: The Hague. The startup took a lot of my precious time. Less posts also because I’m revamping the lay out of the site with a new version of the Thesis theme for WordPress.[Update: Done by the end of the day, with some minor issues to address].

Google Analytics shows the following for October:
Visits: 44.787 vs 45.420 (-1,39%) in the corresponding prior period.
Pageviews: 103.929 vs 106.095 (-2,04%).

Glad we’re still over 100,000 pageviews.

The best of Chair Blog Half September – Half October, 2012

Yet again based on our Feedburner stats. Just wait and see whether they will continue after October 20, 2012 when support for the Api by Google stops.

Contrary to my earlier belief it is not easier to pinpoint the most visited pages from another stats program. In addition there were no significant peaks in views according to the other stats programs during the last 30 days.

Google Analytics shows the following:
Visits: 43,862 vs 44,325 (-1.04%) in the corresponding prior period.
Pageviews: 102,360 vs 111,783 ( -8.43%).

And some Miscellaneous stats:

Hope to see you soon.
